About this property

House in Aldeia de Xisto

The village of Ferraria de São João is located in the southern part of the Serra da Lousã.
In this magical world, where the hours pass more slowly, welcoming populations live with time to welcome those who visit them. And to share their stories, arts and traditions.
But much of its charm is in pure Nature. On the river beaches of crystal clear water where we can spend moments of relaxation. And in the forests to discover on foot following the “Schist Paths”, or the bike trails defined by the MTB Centers according to various levels of difficulty, which also provide support for practitioners.

Top! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vermieter sehr nett und haben uns mit Tipps versorgt. Wandern, Montenbiken Flussschwimbäder am Haus bzw. In der Nähe. Bis zum nächsten Top Strand 1h. Bäcker kommt jeden Morgen vor die Tür gefahren. Wir können das Haus in die Umgebung nur Empfehlen.Wenn man Ruhe sucht ist es genau richtig.Auto ist zwingend erforderlich.

Tot rust komen

Het huisje is gelegen in een prachtig dorpje. Met een super mooie omgeving.Als je even je batterijen wil opladen en tot rust komen is dit een echte aanrader.Er zouden mss wel iets meer potten en pannen zijn. En wasmachine was ook stuk. Maar zeker een aanrader.

Rustig gelegen en luxe uitgerust

Het huisje ligt heel rustig gelegen in het dorp. De mensen in het dorp zijn heel aardig. De bakker komt bijna elke morgen langs. Het huisje is volledig ingericht met vaatwasser, oven enz. Het enige dat we misten waren stoelen voor op het terras.

Visit

Das Haus liegt etwas höher in den Hügeln und ist ein typisches Portugiesisches kleines Dorf. Die frischen Brötchen bringt der Bäcker jeden Morgen mit dem Auto ins Dorf fast vor die Haustür. Es ist im Dorf selbst nicht viel los, aber genau das war für uns das interessante. Gleich am Apartment/Haus führen Wanderwege entlang und man kann sofort loslaufen. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und würden es wieder buchen.
